Thanks for the hint. For people who don't know the WEP authentication "security", I found some info on it here: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/bh2001/mgp00018.html A paper and additional information about WEP can be found here: http://www.isaac.cs.berkeley.edu/isaac/wep-faq.html Today, I have taken a look at wireless networks for the first time. All I can see is that the design is a complete disaster. Thanks, Martin
